Answer: MacArthur believed he was a military commander of superior abilities. He was determined to defeat the North Koreans and establish United Nations' control in the North, and he believed that bombing North Korean supply bases inside China was essential to achieving these goals. The limited war that Truman attempted to pursue resulted in great frustration for him and led him to criticize the president publicly.
